1230	FloatField values in generated Sql have no standard string representation	gp.ciceri@…	Adrian Holovaty	"In FloatField class definition there's no value string representation to put the float into the database, 

so rounding problems may occur: perhaps a simple helper method like this can help.

{{{
def get_db_prep_save(self, value):
        ""Returns field's value prepared for saving into a database.""
        if self.max_digits == None: self.max_digits = 12
        if self.decimal_places == None: self.decimal_places = 4
        fmt = ""%%%s.%sf"" % (self.max_digits, self.decimal_places)
        return fmt % value
}}}

Thanks for your patience
